Last week, I wrote of how the world is full of good people<\/strong><\/a>. I am loving how I am experiencing that more and more each day.<\/p>\n

I have just finished replying to a lot of emails.<\/p>\n

It’s amazing how you can be friends with people you have never met, but only interacted with online, and that interaction is with an avatar.<\/p>\n

You have no idea what they look like in real life or sound like, but you know their hearts are full of goodness and light<\/strong> and that is enough to for you to know that you treasure them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have had so many emails come through congratulating us on the birth of Savannah<\/strong><\/a>, which is so touching when it comes from people who are practically strangers, yet feel like they are part of your family.<\/p>\n

And now that Craig is in New Zealand<\/strong> <\/a>and I am at home alone with my two girls, I have been so touched by the emails and messages<\/strong> I have received from readers asking me how I am coping and if there is anything they can do.<\/p>\n

That is just so beautiful and makes me so happy that I involved myself in blogging. The community is simply amazing. Understanding hands reach out from so many places, including those from many family and friends, who I don’t want to leave off with my profound gratitude.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you<\/strong>, your words have really boosted my spirits<\/strong> and often come at the right moment when I needed to hear them.<\/p>\n

I”m off to the airport today to pick Craig up. Hopefully some of my sanity will now be restored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
